pull the cover and look, anything else is nothing more than a guess, maybe even a good guess but a guess none the less

jack the car up, spin one of the rear tires, if they both spin in the same direction you got a posi.

Not all LSD's will do that. The only way to know for sure is to pull the cover and look as ede stated.
